The Miss Universe Canada pageant is on a hot streak. Following 2012’s controversy about the exclusion and later inclusion of transgender contestants, the 2013 competition was derailed when a counting error saw the wrong person crowned winner.

The pageant, held in Toronto May 25, seemed to be running smoothly until a typo skewed the vote totals for the top five contestants, “which significantly impacted the final results of the competition,” according to organizers.

Brantford, Ont. native Denise Garrido benefited from the oversight, but her victory was shortlived. She lost the crown and dropped to third runner-up. The rightful Miss Universe Canada is Riza Santos, an actress and former army reservist from Calgary.

Beauties of Canada says this is the first time such an error has occurred in its 11-year history of running the Canadian pageant, which may or may not be reassuring to future contestants. The organizers certainly didn’t seem eager to publicize their mistake.

After much ado about Garrido’s erroneous win, the organizers were more coy about announcing Santos as the real winner, simply pasting a link to a press release on the Miss Universe Canada Facebook and Twitter accounts.

Santos will compete against other Misses-Universe in the Donald Trump owned competition later this year, where a new global Miss Universe will be named. This is not to be confused with the rival Miss World pageant, which will take place in Jakarta in September. It’s all very confusing.
